Tenshindon (Japanese: 天津丼), also known as tenshinhan (Japanese: 天津飯), is a Japanese Chinese specialty, consisting of a crab meat omelette on rice,[1] named after Tianjin in northern China.[2]
Tenshindon is not known to be related to any dish in Tianjin cuisine, and both the origin of the dish and the reason it's named after Tianjin are contested. Records from the Taisho era (1912-1926) mention a crab omelette dish called fuyō kani (芙蓉蟹), where fuyō is the Japanese reading of foo young, but not the name tenshindon. The earliest attested uses of the name date to after World War 2, when the dish is said to have been invented by restaurateurs in either Tokyo or Osaka, possibly in reference to or inspired by soldiers returning from China.[3]
